Iv'e never been. Sounds fun. I might be interested. What's normally the agenda? Is it an expensive trip?

It IS fun!

IF the Porsche Club has a track day at Spa next spring, it would be nice to combine the two (they're very close to eachother). I've done that before and let me tell you, if that doesn't satisfy your appetite for driving, nothing will!

As my wife is disabled (MS), I think I might break the journey by staying close to the Channel Tunnel each way. Otherwise, it's too much of an ordeal for her. Last time, the return journey (non-stop) was thirteen hours - don't feel like another like that!

A lot of info, e.g costs can be found at Ben Lovejoy's Site.

John

I'd love to. Add me to the list of interested parties please!

Spa too sounds a great idea.

May even have a coupe by then...

I would most certainly be interested in joining you on a trip to the ring or spa.

Hi John,

I might be interested, wife/baby permitting. How easy is it to crash?! Presumably you would drive down the night before, stay in a local (cheap) hotel/B&B and then drive back after the day?

Cheers,

David

David, I can't believe you asked that ! lol

I have been a few times on a bike, so know a little about the place.

There are always accidents, but as long as you accept you will get overtaken, keep an eye in the mirror and let others by in sensible places, you shouldn't get collected.

It is an experience but I personally have more fun on the roads getting there.

Just my observations.

Cheers,
John.

I will be "doing" Spa in May with Autotrack/PCGB. I will probably also make the trip down to The Ring on the Thursday
